@cellit: you apparently don't realize that an ssh tunnel is not a web-proxy. A web-proxy like "squid" accepts web-requests, fetches the content and potentially cashes it for future use. It's NOT a simple forwarded or tunneled TCP connection.

That's likely why you couldn't get something designed for proxying web traffic to work with a tunnel. A tunnel generally has no software sitting in the middle to accept web requests and potentially cache some data locally for faster web response.

As for my review -- I wanted something that included "simpler". I don't need the auth/password storing, but wanted to have it toggle-able between 2 proxy ports (same machine, but one does extra processing on the content going through it, AND going direct --(if I've temporarily programmed iptables to do masquerading).

95% of the time, it's simply switching betweendirect and a proxy usage. If I used authenticating proxies, I'd probably rate this util higher, but given I couldn't just toggle which proxy address to use (including, 'direct'/no proxy), I was a bit sad/dissatisfied that it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but if you need what it offers, I'm sure it would make them much happier.

Nice extension, simple and small.The only thing lacking (and I think that's hard coded in Opera) is that the extension can't divert Opera Sync traffic to proxy, Opera always connects with system proxy settings when syncing. This is on Windows. Couldn't sign in to sync until I allowed direct connection to internet in my firewall.

Awesome addon,I am looking for some simple switching addon, switch to my proxy just one single click, not pull-down menu.could you add new function cyclic switching direct/proxy1/proxy2...by double left click?That would be more efficient on work!
